HENDERSON COUNTY, Ky. - Barbara Barr, Henderson

President Obama is trying to fool the people to believe things are better now than they were in 2008 when he was elected. The fact is we have a large amount of citizens unemployed that have given up on finding jobs. The bureaucrats do not even count this number.

Obama promised to cut the federal deficit in half, but he did not. Instead he doubled the nation's debt. It is time to fire this president! Why would you trust him to do better? This president has not improved our economy one bit.

Obama brags about how he helped save General Motors. Actually it is our tax dollars that were used to pump up GM sales. GM is unsustainable without government subsidies and will probably go bust again, taking billions of taxpayers dollars down with it.

From the $50 billion used to bail out General Motors, $30 billion went into fattening the United Auto Workers union — Obama supporters — while the actual bondholders were shown the elevator shaft.

Obama is for government employee unions. He said, "I owe those unions." Well he certainly does, for big labor union bosses spent one billion dollars to get Obama elected in 2008. He started his thank yous by appointing unionism partisan Hilda Solis to run the Department of Labor. All the time in office the only help he brought about was help to Big Labor and our money given to aid illegal immigrants.

I saw our president bow down to Muslim leaders in a video. We do need a good business leader to help the average American and not one like Obama who will help big government control unions.

Our country has been great because of us being "one nation under God." We must vote for freedom and trust in God. If we drop God out, then we are doomed to fall! Read history!

I hear some people say they will not vote, but this is a critical year to preserve our Constitution and freedom to worship, freedom to vote, freedom to have free enterprise. I had rather vote for a man who at least will keep these for us!
